San Fernando Gardens is a housing project located in the Pacoima district of the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California.[1]

San Fernando Gardens was built during World War II to house workers at the nearby Lockheed aerospace manufacturing facilities in Burbank. The project was racially integrated; its wartime black population was the first significant African-American population in the San Fernando Valley. Like the district surrounding it, San Fernando Gardens is now overwhelmingly Latino[citation needed]. It is the northernmost project in Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles's system.
